Mr.. Dudley spoke from close per-

land. He asserted that fully nine

cheaper. A number of articles were

port of this assertion.

showing how the American manufact-
urer, by reason of the protection a.
forded him, was able to send his sur
plus product abroad. forcing competi-
ton even in foreign markets. Mr..
Dudley spoke of attending an agricul
tural exhibition in France three years
ago, and noting the prices ,of agricul
tural implements. The lowest priced
horse-rake was $50. the American
price of an equally good article being
S27. The cheapest mower was $1O2-
the American price being $50 aud a
reaper valued at $1S5 was no better
than the American article for $40.
Wooden goods alone are a little
higher in price. because of the duty ON
wool, which is imposed for the benefit
of farmers. The extra cost of wooden
clothing to the laborer is more than
made up to him in the double price he
gets for his labor, as compared with
English wages.
Some interesting figures were given
of the worlds wheat crop, toshow how
impossible it would be for the Ameri-
can farmer to depend on the foreign
market for his surplus. He must sell
his wheat practically all at home.

Opponents of equal rights for women
are fond of declaring with Tennys,n
that
'womnn is not undeveloped man.
But DIVERSE"
Yet they always assume that II women
are left free to develop in their own
way, as men are. they will straight
way develop into men-and rather
poor kind of man at that. The COM
trary view is well stated by 'Josiah
Aliens wife," in a passage which was
written about voting. but which APP
plies equally well to education:
1T is jest as ridiculous to say It
would make a woman act coarse and
rampage round. to vote. as to say that

make that rose-bush stand up straight

the liquor stores do all of the fruit
business of this city, when the truth is
this trade has grown to enormous pro-

brokers in green fruits, or fifty in dried
fruits and twenty-five large importing

two auction houses, one of them just

grapes are sold. and the quantity Of
oranges and lemons frequently reaches

"Well, in the first place, most of the

Art Thou the Man!

There is an old story of a certain
minister who, in arranging his toilet
for his parochial calls, found button
gone from his shirt-colar, and all at
once the good mans patience left him.
He fretted and scolded, and said UNI
dignified and unkind things, until the
tired wife burst into tears and escaped
to her room. The hours of the after
noon wore away, during which the par
son called upon old brother Jones, who
was all bowed down with rheumatism,
and found him patient and even cheer
full; upon young brother Hall, wasting
away with consumption, and found
him anxious to go and be with Christ !;
upon good old grandmother Smith, in
her poor, miserable howell of a home,
and found her singing one of the good
old hymns, as happy as bird; upon
young Mrs. Brown, who had few
weeks before buried her only child,
and found her trustful and serene in
the view of Gods love which had come
to her through her afiliction. The min
lister went home filled with what he
had seen, and when evening came and
he was seated in his easy-chair, his
good wife near him busy with her
needles, he could not help saying,
what a wonderful thing grace is!
How much it will do! There is moth
ing beyond its power! Wonderful
Wonderful! 1t can do all things"
Then the little wife said: " Yes, it is
wonderful indeed; but there is one
thing the grace of God does not seem
to have the power to do" "Ah, what
can that be?" said the husband. "Why,
it does not seem to have the power to
control minister's temper when shirt
button is gone" This was new ver-
sion of the doctrine of grace to the
parson, but it was such version as
many another religious man needs to
remember There is many a man who
can stand up before multitude and
"confess Christ" who can be most
meek when insulted in some public
place, who can rub his hands and bless
God for the power of religion, but who
is too weak to keep his temper at home.

All leave me not! the light grows dim and faint
And my weak spirit quaiIs before the night.
Where shall turn to whom shall make my plant?
Ali leave me not alone to brave the fight.
Stay with me now, although scarce can see,
For gathering mists of death, thy face and form
Yet is thy presence comfort unto me,
Thy gentle voice pledge of earth-love warm.
Reach me thy hand, that dying may feel
Thy kindly casp-alas need 1t sore.
Say to me once again thou lowest me still
Before go away forevermore.
Would thou couldst go with mel / shrinking turn
From the great vale whose shadow on me lies
Would that my trembling soul from thee could learn
The first deep knowledge of deaths mysteries
Give me one kiss and bid me then good-bye;
All can feel thy tears upon my brow
Weep not for me-'tis not so hard to die;
Heavens light is breaking on my spirit now.
